History of the Nakajima B6N2 Tenzan bomber: This Japanese torpedo bomber, codenamed "Jill" by the Allies, played a key role in the Pacific during the final stage of World War II. Developed as the successor to the B5N "Kate," it featured improved performance and increased range. The B6N2 Type 12 was the production version powered by the Mitsubishi Kasei 25 engine. Aircraft of this series conducted night torpedo attacks, including during the Battle of Okinawa, which is reflected in the theme of this model—the decals match those of the aircraft operating from Kushira in April 1945 during combat missions.

The Hasegawa 07536 model allows you to recreate the historical armament—a typical Japanese aerial torpedo mounted under the fuselage. The manufacturer has provided great detail for the crew cockpit interior, fuselage details, landing gear, and armament components. Basic modeling tools as well as glue and paints are required for assembly.

It's an excellent choice for creating a diorama depicting nighttime Pacific operations or as a complement to a World War II Japanese aircraft collection. The limited edition makes this model a unique proposition for collectors.
